Pardon my ignorance but I am trying to figure amon ra out. Do I have to have the zip files on the root of the SD card to flash them?
Reason is because it won't let me navigate to my download folder or my roms folder.

Yup, and 1.9 or 2.x (whichever Amon_RA releases for EVO) will have folder navigation.
ok i tried putting amon ra recovery on my evo and i was unsuccessful. I was using clockwork at the time when trying to install amon ra. so since it didnt work i install valpaek rom cuz it has an option in settings to use amon ra recovery. now my question is if i change roms again will i lose the amon ra recovery once my new rom is installed? cuz i really dont wanna use clockwork mod...
Wrong They do NOT need to be on the root with AR.
I have a folder on my SD Card called XDA, and in there, I keep all my zip files, etc in sub folders labeled ROMS, APPS, Themes, Divers, etc....

Don't use ROM Manager to flash AR.
Don't use ROM Manager, period, tbh, except to fix permissions.
Rename this file PC36IMG.zip and put it on the root of your SD Card, reboot to Hboot (Vol dwn/Power) then when it scan and asks you to update, hit yes and it'll install AR.
Then when it reboots, hit no after the scan and then hit Recovery

I made a NAND backup using Amon Ra, but flashed to Clockwork in order to use Rom Manager (It seems most custom roms need Clockwork to install properly)
Is there any way I can make the Amon Ra NAND backup flash using Clockwork?
I just don't want to have to go through installing all the apps and entering accounts again...
EDIT: If there is no way, how can I reflash Amon Ra to get my NAND backup
Yeah, you can copy the contents of the nandroid folder created on your sdcard by the amon ra recovery and paste it into the clockwork/backup folder. Clockwork recovery will then see your ra nand backup info. Also, I'm using rom manager but I also have the ra recovery image on my sdcard and there's an option in rom manager to flash an alternate recovery and mine displays amon ra since the image exists on the card.

Well that didn't work quite as you wrote it, but I did notice on the bottom part of rom manager that you can actually flash different recoveries.
Guess I should have poked around a little more before asking questions
I suppose I could have clarified that the folder you copy into the clockworkmod/backup directory is in the nandroid/HT05(whatever else). There should be folders with a prefix like BCDS and those folders are what you will copy. I verified on mine again that it does work and the backups are then visible upon booting into clockwork recovery.

I don't understand. After I rooted using simpleroot, I flashed RA_recovery onto my phone using simpleroot. The option to flash using an alternate recovery is greyed out in rom manager though. What gives?
It only shows up once you flash the clockwork recovery using rom manager. When you reboot, you will see the option to flash alternate recovery.

I have been using the stock recovery since the begining and I keep seeing posts about Ra and Clockwork. I know what they are but why are they better then the stock recovery? Not curious as to which should I use just curious why everyone is using them when my stock recovery has done all thats asked of it thus far.
Never used stock recovery so I don't know what capabilities it has. As for Amon Ra, in addition to flashing custom roms and mods, you can mount your SD card to your computer, partition your SD card, wipe all data and do entire system backups.

I'm pretty sure you can do all of that with Clockwork as well. Or at least with ADB.
Is clockwork the stock recovery then?

if I understand you correctly, it depends how you rooted. For example, if you flashed recovery through Simpleroot OTA, then it flashed clockwork. If you install Rom Manager, it also uses clockwork, but has the option to flash AR instead (although a lot of the functionality of rom manager will be gone)
To calrify, the HTC "STOCK" recovery is unuseable to users like us. It is locked. This is why we root users need a custom recovery image such as Clockwork or Amon_RA. There is a custom one that you get automatically when you root with Toast's method (I think) but now SimpleRoot lets you flash Clockwork or Amon_RA on the 2nd button press of rooting...

Clockwork seems to have some issues when it wipes. It doesnt always wipe properly RA for me always now

Oh, here we go again.
I think I rooted the toast way? I wrote in the command lines and followed the 1st, 2nd and nand unlock method. I didnt load any recovery, what recovery is that? I am guessing its clockwork?
Can you restore a backup from rom manager in ra recovery ? I flashed ra and rm won't flash back to cwm it says I have cwm 3.0.0.5 but in recovery its ra 2.3 I don't care to go back to cwm i didn't care for it it never worked for me but my first backup was with rom manager I would like it back...

No, you can't flash an AmonRa backup with ClockworkMod or vice versa.
You're just going to have to flash Clockwork back, flash your Clockwork nand backup, flash AmonRa, and then backup with AmonRa and delete your Clockwork backup.
Or cut your losses, and just delete the Clockwork backup.
No, you can't use backups from different recoveries.
That sucks ! So you can't just move the file to the nand file? also can you rename nand backups from ra in a file manager or will they not work if you do?

Well I only wanted it cause it was the stock rom but I could just get that from this site so I guess its just wasted sd space... lol

Negative on all of the above. They are not interchangeable at all, no matter what you name them. As someone else suggested already, use ROM manager to flash back to clockwork. Then restore your backup. Once its restored, flash back to amon ra. Create a new backup with amon, then delete your clockwork backup. It wont take long at all. (As was already posted, just agreeing that is the easiest way to resolve you're problem)

I've tried to flash cwm it says I'm on it but when I flash anything I go right into recovery and I'm in ra any idea why that would be?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I guess you are trying to flash from the Rom manager. You can try this. In the rom manager at the bottom it says Flash Alternate Recovery, which is Amon-RA. Click that let in install Amon-RA again then go back into Rom manager and try to install clockwork recovery again. I can not find the Clockwork recovery image so if anyone knows where you can get the actual image file to flash manually then that may be the next choice. I have found on my sd card a Clockwork recovery image v3.0.0.5 by it is not zipped.
Also Amon-Ra says that you could do this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=705026.
via terminal app or adb - (Make sure your rom contains flash_image!!)
Copy recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app or launch adb
su(press enter)
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
Now the above is for his rom, but you should be able to replace recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img with a clockwork recovery image and it do the same thing. I have not tried this so do it at your own risk. If you try the rom manager with no results and can not find a flashable clockwork-recovery.zip file then I cnapost the image file i have for you to try but I don't promise anything. Maybe someone else has a better idea.
To Install AMON RA Do i need to delete Rom Manager from my phone? Or flash the alternative (AmonRa) in my rom manager and delete Rom manager
What I really wanna do is Change from Cloworkmod to Amon RA
Help !! Thanks
I am placing PC36IMG in my root, go into bootloader and Is not updating anything!
1. You can change via rom manager, just know rom manager won't work with amon_ra
2. If the bootloader isn't detecting it, it is because
a) It wasn't named PC36IMG, correctly
b) You have two PC36IMGs on the root of your sd card

Make sure it is named PC36IMG.zip
Yes, and make sure you do not have two .zips (PC36IMG.zip.zip) at the end.
You may also need to select bootloader if you are in fastboot mode.
OHH Crap!!! I was name it PC36IMG without .zip!!
so..after i do and Instal Amon ra, is ROm manager useless and can I delete it?
Or currently i falshed the alternative recovery Amon ra 2.2, Can i delete Rom manager then?
ROM manager is useless anyhow, except for one thing; fixing permissions, which you can still do with Amon Ra
Nevermind, Amon RA 2.3 up and running!!!
Thanks
After you have flashed amon ra it doesn't matter what you do with Rom manager. I found that your old nandroids from Rom manager won't work with amon ra so make sure you do a backup before you change anything.

How do you fix permissions using Amon Ra? Is it the fix mismatched uid? Or am I missing it somehwere?

go into other and fix permissions is there.
PapaSmurf, I am running 2.3 and under Other my three options are: Return, Fix apk uid mismatches, and move recovery.log to SD...
So, would "fix apk uid mismatches" = 'fix permissions' in an earlier version?

Yep, you got it. Just select that, wait for it to finish, and you're done. I wipe cache and dalvik and fix permissions every few days just to keep stuff running smoothly. It's a good habit to get into.

when i rooted my evo about a week ago i followed instructions to the t for the ENERGY sense rom. i use revolution-0.4 i think that included clockwork mod for the custom recovery. i was thinking of switching to amon ra recovery. can i jsut download and flash it or will that cause problems? if so what do i need to do prior to switching recovery tools?
All you need to do to switch recoveries is download Amon Ra. Rename it to PC36IMG.zip. Then put it on the root of your sdcard. Boot into bootloader and it will ask you to update, press volume up for "yes" and bam your done. Then delete the PC36IMG.zip. (if it doesn't ask you to update when you boot into the bootloader, start your phone back up and remove the ".zip" from the recovery you renamed.

Remember that if you have any backups with your current recovery,theres a chance the new one will not be able to verify the MD5SUM and restore your current backups.

Theres a strong possibility,they are 2 different recoveries.I know from experience a few times,but then again weirder things have happened,all i can say is you can try.
